I'm new to the forums here, but am enjoying the conversation threads and occasional flame mail. So far, I like the navigation, but the searches aren't working well for me - either can't find the topic, or they generate error messages from the search engine. Re your seven points contrasting web and hardcopy publications, I would say that researching and linking topic threads and information content is (or can be, depending on the web designers) far easier than flipping through stacks of magazines. Also the issue of portability, which you address with such comments as ("i can look at it at my own leisure") will be addressed by next-generation handheld devices. My Sony Clie is high resolution, downloads content from the net, and displays nice color pictures. Getting sites like this form to set up a formatting function to download sections and topic threads would be a good start in that direction. I used to get daily content of Yahoo discussion groups emailed to me daily, like the layout design special interest group, and would move them over to my Palm device for later perusal, say in boring meetings or when I was waiting somewhere for a family member to finish something (yes I have teenagers). Anyway, the rapid exchange of ideas via this forum is a welcome thing. Thanks.
